All amounts are in Australian Dollars ($ or AUD) unless otherwise indicated. A number of figures, amounts, percentages, estimates, calculations of value and fractions in this presentation are subject to the effect of rounding. Accordingly, the actual calculation of these figures may differ from the figures set out in this presentation.

This presentation also includes pro-forma financial information. Pro-forma adjustments have been made in order to exclude one-off transaction costs associated with the Entitlement Offer and Placement. Investors should note that this information has not been audited and is based on management estimates and not on financial statements prepared in accordance with applicable statutory requirements. Accordingly, investors should treat this information with appropriate caution. Investors should also be aware that certain financial data included in this presentation are "non-IFRS financial information” under ASX Regulatory Guide 230 (Disclosing non-IFRS financial information). The non-IFRS financial information financial measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by Australian International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with AIFRS. Investors are cautioned, therefore, not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial measures included in this presentation.

Future performance

Forward-looking statements are statements about matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this presentation and include statements regarding FCT’s intent, belief or current expectations or projections with respect to business and operations, market conditions, results of operations and financial condition, including, without limitation, forecasted economic indicators, performance metric outcomes, the potential impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the timetable and outcome of the Entitlement Offer and the Placement and the proceeds thereof. This presentation contains words such as ‘will’, ‘may’, ‘expect’, ‘indicative’, ‘intend’, ‘seek’, ‘would’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘continue’, ‘plan’, ‘probability’, ‘risk’, ‘forecast’, ‘likely’, ‘estimate’, ‘projection’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, or similar words to identify forward-looking statements. Indications of, and guidance or outlook on, future earnings or financial position or performance are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect FCT’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to change, certain risks, uncertainties, projections and assumptions which are beyond the control of FCT, and have been made based upon FCT’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on FCT. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with FCT’s expectations. A number of important factors could cause FCT's actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, general economic conditions in Australia and worldwide; exchange rates; competition in the markets in which FCT will operate, the lack of willingness or predictability in timing for partner uptake of FCT’s offerings, the inherent regulatory risks in the businesses of FCT and the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Assumptions on which forward-looking statements in this presentation are based may or may not prove to be correct and there can be no assurance that actual outcomes will not differ materially from these statements. None of the Associated Persons nor any other person referred to in this presentation makes any representation as to the accuracy or likelihood of fulfilment of the forward-looking statements or any of the assumptions upon which they are based. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to FCT, investors and others should carefully consider such factors, and other uncertainties and events. FCT is under no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this presentation. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement.

Past performance information (including past share price performance of FCT) given in this presentation is given for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily a guide to future performance and no representation or warranty is made by any person as to the likelihood or achievement or reasonableness of any forward-looking statements, forecast financial information, future share price performance or their forecast. None of the Limited Parties nor any independent third party has reviewed the reasonableness of the forward-looking statements or any underlying assumptions. Nothing contained in this presentation nor any information made available to you is, or shall be relied upon as, a promise, representation, warranty, or guarantee as to the past, present or the future performance of FCT.

You are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, particularly in light of the current economic climate and significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption caused by the outbreak of COVID-19.

Offer Summary

Director

  • ˃ The Executive Chairman, John Grant, proposes to accept his entitlement in full and participate as a priority sub-underwriter to the Retail Entitlement Offer up to $300k. No fees, commissions or other consideration will be payable to Mr Grant in connection with his role as a sub-underwriter to the Retail Entitlement Offer. Mr Grant's participation as a priority sub-underwriter to the Retail Entitlement Offer will terminate in circumstances where the Underwriting Agreement is terminated.

  • Participation ˃ Directors have deferred payment of Board Fees from November 2019. Directors will be participating in the Entitlement Offer to the extent of the Board Fees deferred. Post Offer the Directors have confirmed that they will sacrifice Board Fees to the full extent the fees set for non-executive directors in FY21 allow into the proposed Share Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) Plan. Participation in SARs will be subject to shareholder approval.

  • ˃ The Retail Entitlement Offer is underwritten by Morgans Corporate Limited (Underwriter). In addition, director John Grant has agreed to priority sub-underwrite the Retail Entitlement Offer up to $300k.

Underwriting*

  • ˃ The Company has also agreed to issue 30,000,000 options (Options) to sub-underwriters nominated by the Underwriter subject to shareholders approving such issue at the Company's next general meeting. The Options will have an exercise price of $0.05 and be exercisable within 12 months from their issue date.

  • ˃ If shareholders do not approve the issue of the Options at the Company's next general meeting, then the Company must make a cash payment to the Underwriter, for the benefit of the sub-underwriters, in an amount per Option equal to the greater of $0.01 and the VWAP for the 7 trading days preceding the Company's next general meeting less $0.05.

*The Underwriting Agreement dated 21 May 2020 between the Company and the Underwriter provides that the Underwriter will not be issued any shares that would cause it to breach the 20% takeover threshold contained in Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If the Underwriter was required to take up shares on issue which would otherwise cause it to breach or notify under these provisions then, for the purposes of ASIC Report 612 (March 2019), (i) it will still fund the entire underwritten proceeds in accordance with and subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement by the completion date, (ii) the number of excess shortfall shares would be up to the number of shares offered under the Retail Entitlement Offer less the number of shares that have been pre-committed or sub-underwritten and the number of shares that the Underwriter is able to take up without causing it to breach or notify under these provisions when aggregated with any additional interests the Underwriter and its affiliates hold at the relevant settlement date other than through its underwriting commitment; and (iii) it would enter into an arrangement for any excess shortfall shares to be issued to it, or to third party investors, after close of the offer at the same price as the offer price. No material impact on control is expected to arise as a consequence of these arrangements or from any shareholder taking up their entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer where there is an excess shortfall.

Appendix 2 Risks and Restrictions

Key Risks

This section discusses some of the risks associated with an investment in FirstWave. FirstWave’s business is subject to a number of risk factors both specific to its business and of a general nature which may impact on its future performance and forecasts. Before subscribing for FirstWave securities, prospective investors should carefully consider and evaluate FirstWave and its business and whether the securities are suitable to acquire having regard to their own investment objectives and financial circumstances and taking into consideration the material risk factors, set out below. The risk factors below are not exhaustive. Prospective investors should consider publicly available information on FirstWave, examine the full content of this presentation and consult their financial or other advisers before making an investment decision. Any investment will be solely at the investor’s risk.

Specific Risks:

Dependence on Key Personnel

FirstWave depends on the talent and experience of its Personnel, and, as such, any departure of key Personnel may be materially adverse to FirstWave’s prospects. It may be difficult to replace key Personnel or to do so in a timely manner or at a comparable expense. Additionally, if any key Personnel were to leave to work for or establish a competitor, this could further impact FirstWave’s prospects. FirstWave has sought to mitigate this risk with equity incentives, but these incentives cannot remove the risk altogether.

Intellectual Property

T he intellectual property in the FirstWave platform is critical to its commercialisation. There may be circumstances where FirstWave’s intellectual property cannot be protected or is subject to unauthorized infringement. Notwithstanding that FirstWave may have legal rights in respect of any infringement, those rights may be costly and time consuming to enforce.

FirstWave has source code and other intellectual property which are important assets. It is therefore reliant on a combination of confidentiality agreements with its consultants and third parties with whom it operates, in addition to trademark and domain name intellectual property right protections, in order to protect the FirstWave brand. Given the nature of the product, FirstWave does not have complete copyright and patent protection of its intellectual property. If FirstWave is unable to protect its intellectual property, competitors may gain access to its technology which may adversely impact the business. In addition, third parties may make claims against FirstWave for infringement of their intellectual property rights. Defending such actions may be costly to FirstWave and divert the time and resources of Board and key management personnel, resulting in detriment to FirstWave. The intellectual property rights of a third party may also prevent FirstWave from utilising its own intellectual property rights, requiring FirstWave to rebrand at significant cost to FirstWave.

Competition

Markets in which FirstWave competes may be subject to disruptive change from new technologies and competition may arise from a number of sources both in Australia and abroad. It may include companies that have greater capital resources and closer customer relationships than FirstWave. Competition may also arise from companies with developed processes, systems, and technology or customers may seek to develop their own equivalent analytical platforms. Any significant competition or failure to keep pace with technological change may adversely affect FirstWave’s ability to attract customers or meet its business objectives.

Reliance on Third Parties

As the FirstWave platform is cloud-based, FirstWave relies upon data centres and other third-party service providers for the ongoing availability of its platform. FirstWave’s influence over these third-parties is limited. Any system failure that causes an interruption to the platform could materially affect FirstWave’s business. System failures, if prolonged, could reduce the attractiveness of the platform to existing and potential customers and could damage FirstWave’s business reputation and brand name, and consequently, its financial performance, position and prospects.

Reliance on Continual Platform Development

FirstWave’s ability to grow its customer base and generate revenue will be dependent in part upon its ability to continually develop and innovate the FirstWave platform to ensure it is a market leader in the industry. This may involve introducing significant changes to the existing FirstWave platform, including technologies with which there is little or no prior development or operating experience. If the modified platform does not attract customers, FirstWave may fail to generate sufficient revenue or operating profit to justify the investment.

Hacking and Breaches

FirstWave may be adversely affected by malicious third-party actions that seek to breach security of the platform. Any such ‘hacking’ of the platform could, among other things, jeopardise the security of customer information stored on the FirstWave platform. If FirstWave’s efforts to combat such malicious actions are unsuccessful, or if the platform has actual or perceived vulnerabilities, FirstWave’s business reputation and brand name may be harmed, which may result in a loss of customers from the platform (and reduced prospects of securing new customers).

Key Risks cont’d

Lead Time Delay

There is a risk that the lead time from the identification of new customers/partners to the execution of the contract to product delivery and billing and actual payment for the services may be longer than anticipated. While FirstWave will use its best endeavours to reduce the lead times on its revenue generation activities, any delays which may be beyond the control of FirstWave have the potential to materially impact the financial position, performance and prospects of FirstWave.

COVID-19

The COVID 19 pandemic has had and continues to have an impact on FirstWave’s business. In particular the inability for our people to travel internationally has delayed a number of product installations in offshore jurisdictions. Even after the travel restrictions are lifted, there is substantial uncertainty as to the economic outlook internationally.

There are also other changes in the domestic and global macroeconomic environment associated with the events relating to COVID-19 that are beyond the control of FirstWave and may be exacerbated in an economic recession or downturn. These include but are not limited to:

  • changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates;

  • changes in employment levels and labour costs;

  • changes in aggregate investment and economic output; and

  • other changes in economic conditions which may affect the revenue or costs of FirstWave.

It is therefore difficult for FirstWave to know how long the travel restrictions and quarantine rules will apply, and hence to quantify what the impact of COVID-19 on its business will be.

Sufficiency of Funding

The funds raised under the Placement and Entitlement Offer will be applied primarily for working capital purposes to help FirstWave pursue its growth strategy. However there is no certainty that these expenditures will deliver sufficient sales growth to obviate the need for further capital. For example, even if FirstWave becomes cash flow positive, the Directors may consider it appropriate to increase expenditure on the development of FirstWave's platform. As a result, FirstWave may require further funding in the medium term. Any equity funding sought may be highly dilutive to Shareholders, depending on the price at which FirstWave seeks to issue new securities and the level of participation under the Entitlement Offer. While debt funding may be available to FirstWave in the future, the availability of such funding, will be dependent on FirstWave's financial performance. In addition to dilution, if FirstWave is unsuccessful in obtaining funds when required, it may need to delay planned business activities, and potentially forgo growth opportunities, which in turn may adversely affect FirstWave's financial performance or position.

Information Technology Risks

The platforms offered by FirstWave may contain defects and bugs when first introduced to a particular customer or as new versions are released. These defects or bugs could interrupt or delay the provision of services to customers and could ultimately damage FirstWave's business reputation or financial performance.

FirstWave's platform is also subject to risks associated with computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, loss of data from physical damage or from failures by third party service providers or operating systems and similar disruptions, as well as to damage from the inadvertent introduction onto its systems of incorrect programming language by its employees. Any failures, faults, interruption, loss or corruption of data or other compromise to FirstWave's platform as a result of these risks may have a longer-term impact on client satisfaction and could adversely affect the financial performance of FirstWave's business as well as its business reputation.

Regulatory Risks

Changes in the structure and regulation of the industries in which FirstWave operates in Australia and elsewhere could materially affect FirstWave and its business. Changes to government policy, law or regulations, or the introduction of new regulatory regimes may lead to an increase in operational costs and may have a materially adverse effect on the operations, financial performance and prospects of FirstWave.

Key Risks cont’d

General Risks:

Share Market Risks

The price of Shares rise and fall and might trade at prices below or above the Offer Price. There can also be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Shares.

Speculative Nature of Investments

Any potential investor should be aware that subscribing for Shares involves various risks. The Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placement and Entitlement Offer carry no guarantees with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or market value. The success of FirstWave is dependent on the commercialisation of its products and market adoption of those products. An investment in FirstWave should therefore be considered speculative in nature.

General Economic Risks

FirstWave’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions including the level of inflation, interest rates and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.

Taxation Risks

Future changes in Australian and international taxation laws in jurisdictions that FirstWave operates may affect taxation treatment of an investment in FirstWave shares, or the holding and disposal of those shares. Additionally, changes in tax law in the various jurisdictions in which FirstWave operates, may impact the future tax liabilities of FirstWave.

Litigation Risk

Disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the course of the business activities of FirstWave. There is a risk that any material or costly dispute or litigation could adversely affect FirstWave's reputation, financial position, performance or prospects.

Underlying Assumptions

The forward looking statements, opinions and estimates contained in this investor presentation as well as the anticipated application of funds raised (Relevant Statements) rely on various assumptions. These assumptions include that business will return to pre COVID-19 levels in Q2 FY21 i.e. from 1 October 2020; that partners will apply their resources to taking CCSP to market as they did pre COVID-19; that Cisco, in particular, remains as committed to FirstWave as it was pre COVID-19; that FirstWave’s level and location of resources will remain as they are now; and that a new Share Appreciation Rights Plan allowing Board/Executives/Leadership Team to exchange fees and remuneration for shares in the Company will be approved by shareholders.

Various factors, both known and unknown, may impact upon the performance of FirstWave and cause its actual performance to vary significantly from the expected results disclosed in the Relevant Statements. In addition, the assumptions upon which the Relevant Statements are based are by their very nature subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which will be outside the control of the Company, the directors and management and are not reliably predictable. Accordingly none of the Company, its directors and management or any other person can give investors any assurance that the outcomes disclosed in the Relevant Statements will eventuate. Events and outcomes might differ in amount and timing from the assumptions, with a material consequential impact on the Relevant Statements.

While the directors believe the assumptions upon which the Relevant Statements are based (including the assumptions referred to above), when taken as a whole, to be reasonable at the time of preparing this presentation, the assumptions are not fact, and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Relevant Statements. Investors should be aware that the timing of actual events and the magnitude of their impact might differ from that assumed in preparing the Relevant Statements and that this may have a material positive or negative effect on the Company's actual financial performance, cash flows or financial position.

In particular, investors should note that there is continued uncertainty as to the duration of and further impact of COVID-19 including (but not limited to) in relation to government, regulatory or health authority actions, work stoppages, lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions and the impact on the Australian and global economy. There is a risk that if the spread of COVID-19 continues, and/or the actions taken to combat COVID-19 persist, FirstWave's operational and financial performance could deteriorate.

Therefore, depending on the duration of the impact of COVID-19 and if any of the assumptions on which the Relevant Statements are based do not eventuate or are incorrect, FirstWave may not be able to execute effectively on its strategies and intended application of funds raised as per the Relevant Statements. Furthermore, in executing its future growth strategies which target expansion of existing business in Australia and overseas, FirstWave could be exposed to additional or unforeseen costs, which may strain financial or management resources. There is also a risk of disruption to FirstWave's business models and/or those of its suppliers due to factors that are outside the control of FirstWave and such disruption could adversely impact FirstWave's reputation and financial performance. Thus, to the extent that any of the assumptions underlying the Relevant Statements do not materialise or if any unforeseen risks arise, FirstWave may be required to obtain further equity funding in the medium term, which may be highly dilutionary to Shareholders.

Key Risks cont’d

Offer Risks:

Underwriting Risk

FirstWave has entered into an Offer Management and Underwriting Agreement with Morgans Corporate Limited and Wentworth Global Capital Finance Pty Limited (collectively, Joint Lead Managers ) ( Underwriting Agreement ), pursuant to which Morgans Corporate Limited ( Underwriter ) has agreed to underwrite the retail component of the Entitlement Offer[1 ] on the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriter has, in turn, entered into sub-underwriting arrangements.

If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, the Joint Lead Managers may terminate the Underwriting Agreement. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement would have an adverse impact on the total amount of proceeds that could be raised under the Entitlement Offer. The Joint Lead Managers' and Underwriter's obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, including to manage and underwrite the retail component of the Entitlement Offer, are conditional on certain matters, including the timely delivery of due diligence process sign-offs and other documents.

The events which may trigger termination of the Underwriting Agreement include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • a statement contained in the offer materials is false, misleading or deceptive or a matter required to be included in the offer materials to comply with all applicable laws is omitted from the offer materials;

  • the ASX/S&P All Ordinaries Index of ASX stands at a level that is 90% or less of the level of the index as at the close of trading on the day before the date of the Underwriting Agreement:

  • at any time on or before the closing date for the Institutional Bookbuild (21 May 2020);

  • at market close on any of the business days before the Institutional Settlement Date (28 May 2020) or Retail Settlement Date (15 June 2020) and closes at or below that level for at least 3 consecutive business days; or

  • at market close on any of the three business days immediately before the Institutional Settlement Date (28 May 2020) or Retail Settlement Date (15 June 2020) and closes at or below that level on each subsequent business day (if any) before the Institutional Settlement Date or Retail Settlement Date;

  • the cleansing notice issued in connection with the offer is or becomes defective within the meaning of section 708AA(11) of the Corporations Act or an obligation arises on FirstWave to give ASX a notice in accordance with section 708AA(12) of the Corporations Act (as included in the Corporations Act by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84;

  • an application is made by ASIC for an order under Part 9.5 of the Corporations Act in relation to the offer or the offer materials and any such application becomes public or is not withdrawn within 2 Business Days after it is made;

  • there is an application to a government agency for an order, declaration or other remedy, or a government agency commences any investigation or hearing or announces its intention to do so, in each case in connection with the offer;

  • FirstWave is prevented from allotting and issuing the securities the subject of the offer within the time required by the timetable, ASX Listing Rules, applicable laws, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a government agency;

  • certain delays in the timetable occur without the prior written consent of the Joint Lead Managers;

  • FirstWave ceases to be admitted to the official list of ASX or the ordinary shares in FirstWave are suspended from trading on, or cease to be quoted on, ASX;

  • A director of FirstWave being charged with an indictable offence relating to any financial or corporate matter, being disqualified from managing a corporation under the Corporations Act or any regulatory body commencing any public action against a director in his or her capacity as a director of FirstWave or announcing that it intends to take any such action;

  • the responses provided to the due diligence questionnaire or any other information made available by or on behalf of FirstWave as part of the due diligence process to the Joint Lead Managers being misleading or deceptive;

Key Risks cont’d

Offer Risks (cont’d)

Underwriting Risk (cont’d)

  • any material statement or estimate in an offer materials which relates to a future matter is not, in the reasonable opinion of the Joint Lead Managers, based on reasonable grounds (including having regard to ASIC Regulatory Guide 170);

  • there is a material adverse change, or there is a development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the business, assets, liabilities, financial position or performance, profits, losses, operations, results or prospects of FirstWave;

  • ASX refuses to grant, or withdrawals approval for, official quotation of the new shares;

  • a representation or warranty made or given by FirstWave under the Underwriting Agreement proves to be, or has been, or becomes, untrue or incorrect;

  • there is introduced into the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia or any State or Territory of Australia a law or any new regulation is made under any law, or a government agency adopts a policy, or there is any official announcement on behalf of the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia or any State or Territory of Australia or a government agency that such a law or regulation will be introduced or policy adopted (as the case may be);

  • there is a change in the senior management of FirstWave or its directors;

  • FirstWave alters its share capital or its constitution without the prior written consent of the Joint Lead Managers;

  • any of the following occurs:

  • a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally or any adverse change or disruption to the existing financial markets, political or economic conditions of Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States of America or the international financial markets or any change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions; or

  • any adverse change or disruption to the existing financial markets, political or economic conditions of Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States of America or the international financial markets or any change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions; and

  • in respect of any one or more of the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or Hong Kong:

  • hostilities not presently existing commence (whether war has been declared or not);

  • a major escalation in existing hostilities occurs (whether war has been declared or not) involving or the declaration by any of these countries of a national emergency (other than as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic); or

  • • war or a major terrorist act is perpetrated anywhere in the world.

The ability of the Joint Lead Managers to terminate the Underwriting Agreement in respect of some events will depend on whether the Joint Lead Managers have reasonable grounds to believe that the event:

  • has, or is likely to have, a material adverse effect on the success or settlement of the offer, the price at which the ordinary shares of FirstWave are sold on ASX, the ability of the Joint Lead Managers to market or promote or settle the offer or the performance of the secondary trading market of the securities at any time during the 30-day period following the Institutional Settlement Date or Retail Settlement Date, as applicable; or

  • has given, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to either Joint Lead Manager being involved in a contravention of an applicable law or incurring a liability under an applicable law as a result of that event.

For the purposes of the Underwriting Agreement, the effect of any matter on the success of the offer is determined by assessing the likely effect of that matter on a decision of an investor to invest in the securities as if that decision to invest were made after the occurrence of that matter and not by considering the number and extent of applications received before the occurrence of that matter.

FirstWave also gives certain representations, warranties and undertakings to the Joint Lead Managers and an indemnity to the Joint Lead Managers and its affiliates subject to certain carve-outs.

Key Risks cont’d

Offer Risks (cont’d)

Dilution

Shareholders who do not participate in the Placement and/or take up all of their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, will have their percentage of shareholding in FirstWave diluted and will not be exposed to future increases or decreases in FirstWave's share price in respect of the new shares which would have been issued to them had they participated in the Placement or taken up their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer. Shareholders may have their investment diluted by future capital raisings by FirstWave.

Entitlement Offer not renounceable

Entitlements are non-renounceable and will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable. Accordingly, if any shareholder does not take up his/her/its entitlement, they will not receive any value for these entitlements.
